The CCAA was closed this week for the Moon Festival, so there's been no updates from China. This photo shows tourists visiting Yuyuan Garden, one of Shanghai's main attractions, as it rains in China's financial capital on October 2, 2006. China is celebrating a week-long National Day holiday or "Golden Week" holiday, which runs from October 1 to 7.
Chinese people can see the biggest mid-autumn moon in nine years on Friday night. Experts with the Astronomical Association of south China’s Guangdong Province forecast that the fine mid-autumn moon will be seen at 10 p.m. Friday (Beijing Time), when the moon is nearest to the Earth. The last time the mid-autumn moon was nearest to the Earth was in 1997 and the next time will happen in 2015.
So tomorrow night, when we look up at the same moon that she has already seen, we will wonder where she is and find great comfort in knowing we'll bringing her home soon.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and a very Happy Birthday to Mom.
